>> hurricanes and such we get those every now and then, but not earthquakes. >> yeah, it's so shocking particularly after everything that haiti has gone through in the past and noi i know it muste disorienting half a world in baghdad and not know where your close loved ones are, this morning you're looking for your mother, sister, your brother and a cousin. how can we help you, officer nelson, anything we can do, are you looking via social networking or how are you trying to find them today? >> later on today i am going to-- there's a website, there's a tv nation in new york and they have a website where you can post some of your familiy informations and then make contact with unwith of the few radio stations that is till working, operational in haiti and then i'll be able to put

president obama making his way to massachusetts to campaign for martha coakley, could be a make or break situation for democrats, their health care agenda sort of hinging on this race. cockily and republican scott brown appear to be in a dead heat in the special election to fill the senate seat left vacant by the death of ted kennedy. molly line has the latest from the boston bureau. molly, i guess all eyes on boston this morning. >> that's right. president obama has made a significant investment in this race, he's put out an robo call, a web ad and coming here personally. you mentioned the 60th vote on health care, there's a lot hanging in the balance. and a lot of focus is put on the race. martha coakley has fallen a little behind in the polls, some are showing that the republican shot brown has pulled ahead so democrats are trying to rally the base and reinvasion rate the folks and get them out to the poll and republicans republican brown launched a bus tour. he was poll ticking around the

state. and pancake houses and diners and outside of boston gardens on monday. what it comes down to is turnout. and in rallies the republicans are invigorated they didn't think they would have a shot. this election wasn't expected to be this close. republicans haven't won a senate race in massachusetts since 1972. the legislature is dominated by democrats so that's where the enthusiasm is coming from along with the republicans and what it will come down to on tuesday is turnout and the candidates are both going after the critical independent vote and they make up about 50% of massachusetts voters so this is definitely a race to watch. alisyn, dave, clayton. molly, thank you so much. it wasn't ever supposed to be this close, and some say it's a referendum on the president, president obama's politics. >> it is. you say that with confidence. martha coakley well-known throughout massachusetts and the boston area, attorney general. some say she's botched the

election and blunders herself and wouldn't be this close if she hadn't made major faux pas. >> she was up by 31 points in november and a lot of people arguing, republicans especially when she started campaigning is when she started having problems and now sports seems to be many coming to the forefront. you don't screw up portfolispor boston. >> it's red sox nation and they bleed through and through, and what martha coakley did this past week is not going to help her in the post office on tuesday. when she was talking about rudy guiliani, who had been out there on the stump helping scott brown, she said, well, she's got a yankee fan out there supporting her, but then she also referred to kirk curt schilling, curt schilling as a yankee fan. quickly curt schilling the guy that helped the red sox win the world series in 2004. the first in 86 year and pitched with a bloody sock in game six. he could probably be elected

as a governor in the state of massachusetts without a party. here is that popular. here is what she did wbc radio in boston. >> by the way you had bill clinton in today. >> i did. >> and barack obama in sunday. >> correct. >> would barack obama be in if this thing was not this close? >> it hard to know. i think that he is welcome in massachusetts, i'm sure everybody's-- >> 62-36. if it hadn't been so close, rudy guiliani wouldn't have come. he's a yankee fan. >> and scott brown curt schilling. >> and another yankee fan. >> yes. curt schilling a yankee fan. >> no, i'm wrong. >> the red sox great pitcher of the bloody sock? >> he's not there anymore. >> that's a mainly mistake to bring up certainly in boston, baseball terms and you in, curt schilling he was a former philadelphia philly of course, the great boston red sox

pitcher, he came out in response and said look i've been called a lot of things, but never could anyone make the mistake of calling me a yankees fan. if you dependent know what the bleep is going on in your own state maybe you could. >> that from curt schilling's blog and curt schilling will be here in person, the former red sox great live on the show 8:30 eastern time tomorrow. he usually has an awful lot to say, curt schilling, tune in tomorrow. >> that will be no different. and tell you what is happening also happening, flights at jfk airports are getting back to normal after a security breach there. authorities say they have a suspect in custody. he's the man seen here on surveillance footage identified as jules baloot from brooklyn. in haiti at the time of the earthquake and flying back to the u.s. he opened a restricted door at the terminal setting off an

alarm causing hundreds of travelers to be evacuated. >> absolute panic. i just want to get home. i just want to get home, i'm scared. >> a little bit frustrating, but obviously they have to be safe so don't want to get on plane that's not safe. airport security of course is under increased scrutiny following an incident earlier this month at newark airport the man went the wrong way through security and shutting down that airport for six hours. and the man known as chemical ali is sentenced to death. he served as an aide to saddam hussein sentenced to be hanged for a 1988 gas attack in a kurd risish kurdish town. they've captured a person linked to the attack in baghdad. thousands of people gathered

in phoenix to protest how the sheriff is handling immigration enforcement. they could be heard "joe must go", they marched to the tent city jail. he's known for aggressive stance on illegal immigration and protests say the obama administration needs to come up with a way for more immigrant workers to come to the country legally. meanwhile, let's go to rick for how the weather is looking around the country. >> a lot is going on. rain across the east and about to see major rain across the west. here are your temps, nobody dealing with that cold of air except far northern maine and this is across the east, bringing quite a bit of rain across the areas now and across the appalachians. at least it's rain and not snow. by this point tomorrow, we'll be talking interior new england, three to six inches, not a major, major snowstorm for us. but a major rain maker across

the west and talking significant rainfall totals this week and some places could see up to 20 mchs of rain across the higher elevations and record breaking rainfall this week and causing lots of problems and great conditions across the ski slopes. >> let's hope no landslides there, rick, thanks so much. >> a closed door deal making the president's health care bill alive. some say it plays favorite and breaks another of obama's promises. we'll have a fair and balanced debate. >> plus, we're going to botox your resume' this morning. >> plump it up. >> plump it up, make it look for useful. >> get rid of the lines. all of those things so you can get the job you always wanted. >> don't use a 1980's computer like this woman. >> it's not fun. my dry skin

is deep down uncomfortable. [ female announcer ] new neutrogena moisture wrap body lotion wraps and seals hydration deep inside, improving skin's condition 2x more than eucerin original. heal on a deeper level. [ female announcer ] new moisture wrap body lotion.

>> well, it's beginning to look like a republican upset in massachusetts senate al race what. would a democratic loss mean for health care reform and can president obama's visit today turn things around? joining us for a fair and balanced debate angela mcglowan and analyst kirsten powers, all eyes on massachusetts, this is like super tuesday only it's a special election. the president campaigns there today, kirsten, could this in

any way hurt martha coakley's chances. while he's personally popular there, the health care plan only has a 36% approval rating in massachusetts. could it hurt? >> i don't know. i don't think it could hurt and i don't think it's going to help that much either. i think it's probably a wash, more about what's going on locally, more about the things frankly she's saying and doing and running a very bad campaign and making gaffes and i think that that is much more drives whether she's going to win or not. >> interesting, she says what's going on locally. is this about scott brown? is it about martha coakley or is this about health care and reflection of what's going on in this country? >> it's about health care and what's going on in this country and i don't want to pull barney frank, but health care is dead. obama can't help or hurt her at this point, but with the tea party movement, the american people are upset. they don't want this type of reform. he think this is a vote that's going to set the stage for 2010 and maybe 2012.

>> well, 50% of massachusetts voters they we say it's the bluest of blue state, 50 are independents. what will decide this thing in the final days? >> i think what will decide it, i think looking at the voters and moderate voters actually is going to be the most important thing, and that's what we'll have 0 watch which way they're going to swing and go. i think that as much as people want to make it a referendum on health care. this is probably the closest you're going to get in the sense that this is the vote that's needed and i think that that's unusual. >> right. >> in the sense at that people actually realize if this person is there, health care could pass, if they're not, health care could not pass. >> the other thing that could happen as well in the house and we're not talking about is a conference report where you have 51 votes where it can pass without, reconciliation bill. >> some. democrats want to stay away from that. >> no, some are trying to downplay scott brown and

saying even if he does win they can do a referendum. and kirsten the reconciliation, waters down the health care plan. >> that's the problem, they can do reconciliation, but it will be so much less than it already is and what exists now is so much less than what it started out as. >> is it a symbol, does he need to mean? >> we have much more coming up with angela and kirsten, the white house promised transparency, but a new back room deal on health care could put the president's credibility at stake. why some say the latest move is a bit unfair. and check this out, a cocoon that's supposed to help you sleep anywhere, what do you think, ladies? that freaks me out. the next story coming up, no way. ♪ oh

>> democrats behind the

scene cut a special bill to keep president obama's health care bill alive and agreed to delay the tax on workers high end or cadillac health care plans until 2018. while small businesses, however, pay five years earlier. this in the same week that vice-president biden had a meeting on transparency behind closed doors. a tad iron ishg. we're back with angela and kirsten, is this a promise of change that the president, again, promised. ooh% say he is bringing change, only 50%. are you disappointed? >> well, i'm disappointed that they haven't been having the hearings at all on c-span as he talked about and if you're going to-- i always thought he was talking about negotiations on the hill, i never thought he was talking about white house negotiations and i think that people are actually being a little unfair. the idea that he's going to have every meeting in the open is a little unrealistic. >> how about any meeting in the open. none of them are in the open.

>> well, i just don't think-- you don't have those types of meetings in the open, you can't. no way you can negotiate. if you want to keep the american people informed of what's going on it's one thing to have hearings on c-span and have maybe some negotiations. >> to us, inside the beltway traps -- transparency is different than the american people and we're political analysts so we know know about the back room deals and this and that. and he needs to come out and explain what he's talking about. what about by paipartisanship. we're seeing none of them. >> well, i actually think he made more of an effort than any other president would have in the beginning in terms of reaching out to people. i mean, he did far more than bush did, you know, where there was really no support. >> but there's no effort of bipartisanship today. >> at this point there's no point in bipartisanship and i've been through this with many republicans, who say if the president would do this

and that and certain things and health care reform, come on, they wouldn't. >> and being a lobbiest myself, at the end of the day when you have the speaker of the house tell members of coping on the left if you vote for a republican amendment if you put it out there you might be in danger of losing your seat. that's not bipartisanship, that's threatening folks, that's not good politics, it's going to back fire. >> we talked about the change, are the teals what we had in mind. talking about the corn husker kickback, the louisiana purchase and the unions bought off essentially until 2018. this has to come as a bit after surprise. >> doesn't come as a surprise to me. not change. >> it's not change, but i never expected that kind of stuff to change so that's the difference between like you said the average american and somebody who works in politics. this is how politics gets-- >> at the end of the day. >> a lot of people are upset about the deal with the unions, face it, what did you didn't do the deals, they'd be running ads. >> he has to play to the

liberal base and cadillac tax would have impacted the unions. who got them elected, the unions. we appreciate you both, have a great day. >> thank you. >> aly and clayton, what's coming up? >> gretta van susteren had a one-on-one with secretary of state hillary clinton in haiti. here is what they said. >> everybody's been saving lives, it's really heart warming and i mean, from my perspective, you know, what the world is doing on behalf of the terrible tragedy is a great tribute to us. >> that's such a good point. we have more of that, plus,firsthand accounts of those rescue efforts there. >> you've heard the stereo type, right, that blonds have more fun. a new report says they're actual extremely ambitious and that they're war-like sharks. i believe it. >> they're fighters. >> we are going to talk about that coming up like this one. >> i have highlights, it's not all blonds. >> she's a shark! >> meow! . waúñ÷?p!ó9@úññ

>> this is a fox news alert.

for the past several days we've been showing you the devastation in haitiment and right now rescue workers are still even at this hour trying it find survivors in the rubble. >> yeah, one hatian official estimates the death toll now at 100,000 with officials confirming at least 15 americans have been killed there. let's get back out to adam housley who is at port-au-prince airport this morning with more. adam, how does it look there this morning? >> well, you guys talked about the search and rescuers, coming in on planes like this one, a c-130 we've seen in action the past couple of days ago. so they're coming in literally-- as one pulls out the other is waiting to come in. in fact, started out with (inaudible) coming before they land. now, yesterday, we had a chance to go out with the national guard along with engineers from a military really spearhead of this operation for the u.s. and we were looking at port-au-prince from the air and also all the way south

toward the epicenter about an hour and a half. pretty significant damage guys all the way down south and people living in fields and get it back to you. and all of this aid comes in, there aren't enough people to pass it out and we're not seeing lots of people coming in to do that job so that's something they are going to have to deal with shortly. >> adam, thank you very much. and he makes a great point you can send in as many supplies as you can, but if there aren't people to hand it out and there's no way to get it to people and no access, it sets there unfortunately, but adam will update us more when we have better audio. >> and of course, fox's bill hemmer is also there and tips our team coverage in haiti and visits one of the makeshift shelters there where something truly incredible happened. you have to see this. >> we started our day driving away from the area where we're staying on the hills of port-au-prince and we found this soccer field behind me, that's been turned into a makeshift human tent city.

every color you see behind me, every bed sheet. every blue tarp, every piece of plastic wrapping, represents a hatian family. when you go underneath the sheets and see the humanity and lives laid out in public now for a fifth straight day. families of five, six, seven, eight, crowding into the field behind me. we've seen a woman give birth to a baby boy here and also seen a woman who had been bleeding now almost for five days. one doctor for all of these people was able to stitch up her leg. that was badly damaged. and also, had to amputate her right thumb in order to keep her alive. you can drive in this town 0 for an hour, you can spend eight hours and the scene does not change. in street after street and block after block, this is a city and a people now in ruins. there is no food at this camp. there is no water. a short time ago, a pickup truck came by and there was a ten pound steel vat of rice and a ten pound steel vat of

potatoes, that food was delivered to the children here and it was gone in a matter of minutes and with that, so, too, was the only hope these people have seen all day. >> unbelievable images there, bill hemmer, watching as this woman is giving birth there and life coming as a result and in the midst of all of this death there. it's an amazing moment though to see one doctor holding an iv above her arm and imagine trying to get even just the basic services. it's incredible and bill hemmer has been on the scene for death and dying. i was live with him on friday where he watched as somebody was pulled out from a collapsed hotel and they had to be amputated on the spot. had to have their leg amputated on the spot and now he's next to a woman giving birth and i mean, the dramatic life and death scenes that are unfolding before our very eyes down there. >> bill hemmer is there, of course, gretta van susteren is also down there as well. she just headed to haiti yesterday and sat down with

secretary of state clinton who arrived in haiti. stayed at the airport yesterday. they sat down and spoke about what they're seeing in haiti and the state of the hatian government which we have seen very little of since this tragedy unfolded. >> they've been hit very hard and we just had an excellent meeting with the president and the prime minister and they were very specific about what they're trying to achieve, clearly their highest obligation is to get the necessities of the people who are living to clear the streets of the corpses that is a very tragic job that has to be done and begin working on the electricity, the transportation. the telecommunications, you know, nuts and bolts of how they get up and going again. >> yeah, no easy task given the fact that the presidential palace was crushed and collapsed. no working government and as geraldo rivera pointed out there has not been a working government in haiti for years now anyway and the government is sort of setting up base at the airport, this makeshift

police station, trying to operate and questions now arising who is in charge there, the united states is basically taken over the airport, a lot of other countries, mexico, england, you have a lot of different countries who come in and try to offer support, the french of course and who is in charge, running the operating. >> chaos in charge right now. >> and speaking of presidential politics, i thought something poignant happened at the white house yesterday. president obama called in two predecessors, george w. bush and bill clinton for help. he felt that presidents have obviously faced crisis like this before and what can-- how can he tap these past presidents in the time of great need and they all met at the white house and this morning, president clinton and president bush had together written an editorial in the new york times and i think that it's just very comforting to hear these words. >> yeah, here is a piece of their new york times editorial. quote, there are great reasons to hope for the first time in our lifetimes haiti's government is committed to

building a modern economy and as a comprehensive economic plan to create jobs. members of the hatian diaspora ar committed to the future of their native country and the world's attention is focused on this tiny island nation that was been overlooked for far too long. and hillary clinton spoke about that as well. they had plans, already in action with moving forward before this tragedy struck, they were moving forward with the hatian government and they had plans to modernize the country and get them back on their feet before this all hit. >> yeah, bill clinton had a lot of history with haiti going back and he's dealt with that during his presidency back in 1994 meeting with then president aristide back in 1994 of haiti and trying to get the country out of corruption after assassination attempts, violence, coup attempts and everything else and president clinton trying to see the aid they can bring to the country and the two presidents coming out in a great piece. if you haven't had a chance to

read it, offers hope in the midst of this. >> we'll give you more excerpts throughout the show. start with a headline, a fox news alert, a suspected u.s. drone missile killed 12 people in pakistan this morning, intelligence officials say the drone struck a house in soun wazirist waziristan it's a violent tribal area, and the drones were targeting a meeting of militant commanders and apparently were unsuccessful in attempts to kill taliban chiefs. diplomates from six countries working on sanctions against iran have yet to reach an environment. the european union says the u.s., russia, china, britain, france and germany found that iran had failed to follow-up on a proposal that tehran exchange uranium for nuclear fuel. one meeting winvolved china and sent a low level official. the member to iran from the meeting is time is running over over its nuclear program. pope benedict xvi plans to make a historic visit to

>> locks? >> and turns out a new study-- blond locks. a new study out this morning from. >> university of california. >> university of california says that blond women are born to be warrior princesses, they're shark-like. >> more aggressive, they're more determined. >> they're used to getting their own way, these so-called princess effect. >> right. because they say that blonds so are entitled. men give them more attention, they get more things given to them on a silver platter, so that makes them more spoiled and when they don't get their own way, they're war-like. >> like, hike leather locklear from "melrose place." roll it. >> i can't believe you said anything. >> i can, trust me alisyn i know bret's type and despite what he might have promised you if he gets that promotion he won't be taking you with h him. >> wow! snap. but anyway, i don't think this

>> you think that everybody should take the graduation date off the resume'. >> definitely. that's important if you just graduated or spent 25 years since you did graduate because you don't want people to know, a, you don't have experience if you just graduated and b, that you have 20 or so years of experience and they'll think they're old before they get a look at you. >> great advice. take off experience that is more than 15 years old. what if you had a great job 15 years ago, an impressive one, you're going to expunge that. >> this is what you do, you can take it, take the dates off it, but add it and take the dates off it or take the highlights from the job and take it right at the top. gone are the days when you put that boring paragraph of summa summary, instead career highlights, anchor here or president this have or that and right at the top. people have attention deficit these days and usually don't get past the first third of your paragraph are, wow them in the first third. everyone should refresh themselves not just their resume', and that you should make your job experience more

youthful, how do you do that. >> you take that by taking off obsolete skills and talents and things like that. a lot of computer programs people just aren't using anymore, get rid of all of that. >> best part here. >> you should look the part. you should make yourself more youthful. not suggesting botox, but a wardrobe rehab, what do you need to spike from the closet. >> i had a friend 24, get rid of the old jackets with shoulder pads and jewel tones and skirts too tight and short that weren't age appropriate. >> i have so many of them. >> but you're young, they're still age appropriate for you. and also, the severe dark business suit with the white blouse, no more. >> gone. >> exactly. >> make yourself more youthful and resume' more youthful and great advice. lisa johnson mandell, thank you for coming on this morningments thank you so much. >> all right, coming up back to our top story and that is

haiti. haiti needs the world's help more than ever today, but some people are doing more harm than good with some irresponsible comments. we are going to expose the fluff of this and get to the truth. plus, combargeraldo rivera is t and has a firsthand look at the incredible efforts to save lives in haiti. that's the top of the hour.

>> the devastating earthquake in haiti has brought an outpouring of support from people all over the world, but some of the reaction has come under criticism. here with tv evangelist pat robertson had to say. >> and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. they said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the

french, true story, and so the devil said okay, it's a deal. and they kicked the french out o of-- the hatians revolted and got themselves free, but ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. that island-- >> and he goes on and on and on about that. father jonathan morris is here is talk about this. good morning. >> good morning. >> pat robertson invoking the idea that the earthquake in haiti caused by a devil that the hatian people-- . he came back and said he wasn't trying to make the direct correlation, he was musing about this, he said ever since there's been a curse, that's unbelievably irresponsible from a pastoral perspective. this is not the time to be going on our theological musings about the people, the poor people in haiti who are suffering. absolutely outrageous and

irresponsible. i'm by no means defending his statement. there's some story he was talking about, didn't pull this out of thin air. >> you're right. i have great respect for pat robertson, my grandparents loved him. watched them on tv. what he's doing is look a the old testament how god sometimes have treated people when they've been irresponsible and rejected him. let me tell you, one thing is way, like removed from an incident to begin theological musings, another thing to talk about it then. a second thing, i think more importantly, who are we to say with certitude that such an ear earthly thing like this is caused by god? we can't do that. unless you're a prophet. of course, pat robertson has done prophesy, but come up wrong. in 2007 said that the united states was going to be attacked with a nuclear-like terrorism. that

that's going to cause chaos throughout the world and somebody should step up and say, dr. robertson you've done so much good in this life. stop, hold it back, you're not a prophet. air not a prophet. the christian broadcasting network responded to the companies, dr. robertson never stated that the earthquake was god's wrath. if you watch the segment the compassion for people of haiti is clear. the people go to church, christians go to church and people of faith. what should their prayers be and how should they be reflected and should they take anything from pastor robertson? >> at that statement by the christian broadcasting twesh doesn't quite make sense, we're not doubting his compassion for the haiti people, but obviously, it was put in context. what do we need to do? we need to pray for the people. if you have a way of being close to the people hug them and open our wallets for them and talk about what it means to be a christian not only in thoughts and ideas, but on the ground. we need to feel the pain that they are feeling. this is a very good for us. i can see good coming out of

these, this is terrible tragedy. as a people, as a nation, we can talk about it, we can feel the pain that they're going through. >> hopefully some good can come from this. father jonathan morris, we appreciate it. >> coming up on the show 0 would you actually pay someone to take you on a tour of the country's worst gang infested neighborhoods? it's tourism with a death wish. we'll hear firsthand from the creator. what is he thinking with this. >> conan soon may be out of a job, but he'll be laughing all the way to the bank. we've got the late night bioout rumors and the strings that could be attached coming up. ♪ winter can be beautiful.

with his life on the line. on cue with the lassie theme song. they're all men, too. and slogan of the hour, coming from ron in colorado, morning comes, it's snowing out, but i don't frown or pout i could never start my day with a grouch with all of my friends on the curvy couch. >> nicely done. ♪ >> you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you so much. >> we'll wake you up with the sounds of lassie, good morning to all of you, thanks for joining us on a very busy news morning. >> we turn to a much obviously serious subject, what's going on in haiti. rescue workers are still finding survivors, a woman alive has been pulled from the rubble this morning and thousands of aid workers are trying to help those in need. they desperately need water and despite the touching humanion efforts going on,

many have seen a darker side of human nature with reports of looting and violence. joining us with more is fox's own geraldo rivera, live in port-au-prince and also of course a lot of helicopters landing there, a lot of trucks landing there and difficult for i'm sure for him to hear us, but geraldo we'll let you take it away. >> clayton, thanks very much. hi dave, hi alisyn. that's the puerto rican national guard so they're my cousins over there so i don't fault them. plus, secretary clinton said yesterday that that sound is the sound of hope, hope arriving, refugees leaving, going back to a calmer line, but the flight here has been between feeding the people and keeping things secure, that's always the balance and there are some indications that security might become a problem as the health conditions of the people

deteriorate. yesterd yesterday, as i toured port-au-prince, i came upon a bank robbery. watch this. hatian authorities are taking dramatic action-- captain, what is it? what's going on? what is it, captain? >> they have been robbing everything. the city bank, they've been robbing it for several hours. >> they sent a rescue mission down here. >> up to millions of dollars has been stolen from this citibank. but these officers have responded with great dispatch. firing their weapons in the air. they're saying why are the cops leaving? the moan is still in the ground and they worry that as soon as the cops go, the people will be back, the robbers will be back, the looters will be back. they have an alleged looter here. ask him, gerald, did he take money?

money? >> no? somebody told him to get inside. like ten people and he didn't take nothing. >> that's what they all say. >> dave, clayton and alisyn, i haven't been back to that bank yet today, but my suspicion is that the-- the withdrawals have exceeded the deposits, and today will be following as the 82nd airborne and other units of the american and other military units deploy to help further secure this city as the relief effort, 200 flights like this one now every single day picks up pace, bringing hope and the hope of stability to this ravaged land. from port-au-prince, geraldo rivera, back to you guys.

>> thanks, geraldo. wow, is there any better illustration of the chaos that is ravages haiti right now. gerald strolling down the street, a bank robbery in progress, and gunfire, sending them scattering, that's one little microcosm of the country right now. some other stuff that geraldo captured we hope to bring you later in the show. he went through hospital and heart breaking injuries that are taking place by the hundreds of thousands. >> the other big story of course we're following for you this morning have to do with politics and president obama this morning in massachusetts today campaigning for martha coakley, what could be a make or break situation for democrats. the health care agenda right now. coakley and republican scott brown in a dead heat, all accounts statistical tie for that election to take over for the vacant senate seat left by the death of senator ted kennedy. >> molly line has the latest from the campaign trail. molly, is the president there yet. >> good morning, no, he's

expected to be here later on today. this will be a kick trip. his afternoon rally is on the college campus, he did well with young voters during the election seen and dominated here in massachusetts and democrats are hoping that his popularity will continue and he'll be able to reinvague ratereinvague-- reinvigorate the debate and she's been behind for not doing enough retail politics early on, running enough advertising early on. meanwhile, the republican, scott brown, will be on a bus tour today and he's tried hard to connect with voters, driving an old pickup truck, but upgraded yesterday morning and now he's in a bus travelling around to pancake stops, diners, the boston garden on monday and it has worked to a certain extent. republican are far more invigorated than usually to be. the seat has belonged to a democrat. the last time a republican won here and sent to the senate was 1972. so this is reinvigorated that

republican base, it will be interesting to see if they turn out and vote on tuesday, which of course, that's what this is about, getting the voters to the polls. both sides tried to get their voters to the polls and targeting those independents which make up about half of massachusetts voters. alisyn, dave, clayton. >> molly, thanks. >> she brought up a good point. his popularity is what's going to decide this thing there because in massachusetts he's personally popular, but his job approval is only 48%, as far as the health care plan goes, only 36% of massachusetts residents like it, so-- >> it's interesting because they have it. massachusetts has universal-- a version of it so they don't want to pay for a national version when they have it. >> could this hurt? interestingly now, democrats behind closed doors, figuring out mathematically if you're a wild card team trying to get into the playoffs. what do i need to do. democrats are trying to scramble. >> they're narrowing, right. >> if he becomes that 41st vote they're going to have to try to see what they can do,

expand the plan ten days, if they can get the ten day window in holding off the approval process. it's a special election and let's not get too bogged down in the details. ten days to approve the special election. if he wins the secretary of state has ten days to approve that. if the democrats try to beat that ten day deadline somehow and pass health care before-- >> everybody thinks that's impossible because today is the 17th. so it would be take the cbo, congressional budget office ten days. >> to score this thing. >> to score the thing on how much it will cost the health care plan. so now we're already at the 27th. even if they hold off ratifying scott brown if he were to win, it would still take until february 4th for the senate and the house on the capitol to vote for this and scott brown would be seated by then. >> and not to mention the political hit the president would take for ramming something through with paul kirk, warming a senate seat

would outrage the company. >> and reconciliation with 51 votes, but time will tell. >> we start with a fox news alert for you because flights at new york's jfk airport are getting back to normal this morning after a security breach there. authorities say they have a suspect in custody, he's the man seen here on this surveillance footage. he's identified as jules baloof from brooklyn in haiti at the time of the earthquake and flying back to the u.s. officials say that he opened a restricted door at the terminal setting off an alarm and causing hundreds of travelers to be evacuated and rescreened. >> u.s. army officially has taken over responsibilities from the marines in iraq. as many forces pack up and head to afghanistan. by the end of december, there will still be more than 15,000 pieces of u.s. military equipment left at bases after more than 38-- sorry, 380,000 trucks, radios, and weapons were shipped out. as of now, only about 4,000 marines remain in iraq. the f.d.a. is now backtracking

let's go to rick for weather. >> we've got winter storm advisories across the northeast. pink is warnings and blue is watches, and winter weather advisories and seeing some mixing, freezing rainy kind of thing, this has not made its way to the northeast yet, but it's on the way and the majority of this moisture a little farther to the south, towards the mid atlantic and stretching back across the ohio river valley and that will pull in the colder air eventually and that's where we'll see the snow falling and some freezing rain over the next 24 hours. out across the west, this is what we're talking about this week and you might not-- i keep saying this and you might not be aware of it. major problems across california and dave, you said mudslides earlier, that's likely going to be the case. remember, we had the station fire this year, they had 160,000 acres burn and that area probably seeing 10 to 15 inches of rain and you get that across some of the burnt areas and we'll be talking about mudslides. this is extends towards arizona and a lot of area under the drought and so much

of it quickly is going to be causing big time problems for you. >> temps across the country not looking bad. across the northern plains and those temps are around 25 degrees before where you typically should be and it's a 08 degree-- 80 degree turn around and you're in the 30's. >> nice to know it's 63 where conan o'brien gets to do his show. >> mudslides more than enough crazy stuff actually happening out there. fires, mudslide and the late night wars, we're learning more overnight about the sort of buyout deal that nbc is probably offering conan o'brien. his contract 40 million dollars. does he get his walking papers, 30 million, 25 to 30 million dollars to walk away from the tonight show, and get the opportunity to walk to another network? >> and two years left on the deal, the reported 30. there are strings attached says tmz he does not get that money, conan o'brien if he starts saying bad things about nbc after he leaves. >> that's happening while he's there.

after he leaves, but that's going to be his routine if he gets a gig at say fox broadcast, you would think his opening monologue is nbc. probably not if you believe tmz. here is some of what conan had to say when we last saw him late friday night. >> we'll start the bidding for this beautiful tonight show can conan o'brien carry on at just 3.9999. yes, this is it. >> yeah, hey, and get this, 100% of the proceeds will go toward bailing out the 2010 winter olympics on nbc, which according to business analysts has already lost 200 million dollars. >> well, he says that with such a smile and what else he's smiling about his ratings are up 50% in the last week. he beat letterman and even beat leno in the demo 18 to 49. >> speaking of letterman, he's got to be sitting back and enjoying some of this fight

>> the head of acorn's california branch says it plans to split from the national organization, saying, quote, it has become increasingly clear to the leadership, staff and members in california that the serious challenges acorn is facing are jeopardizing the important work we are doing here in california. >> but the undercover video showing air cocorn workers behag badly to say the least, came out of california offices. and here to neighboring sense of it, the california narm of the republican party. thanks for being here. so last week shall the california chapter of acorn announced it was splitting from the national organization. we imagine because it doesn't want to be sullied by the stain of what we've seen on some of the tapes with acorn, is this a good first start?

>> well, when i first learned that the california chapter was breaking away from the national chapter and i had been on the fox news twitter feed. the first thing i thought to myself they're dumping the national organization because of the problems the national organization is having. it's the national organization that should be firing the california chapter because of the problems we saw in the acorn videotapes we saw on fox news about what the employees were doing in those videos. it's just astounding that the california group would say, well, we need to ditch the national group because the national group's problems. they've got enough problems with the california group here. >> they're saying they're going to call it the alliance of californians for community empowerment, acce. is this california branch going to acknowledge any of their own internal mistakes and problems or just move forward without them as if they never happened? >> well, i didn't see much of that in the announcement of this new group being formed, in fact, what i saw was a lot of the same old tired rhetoric

that we've seen from acorn in a blaming the vast right wing conspiracy for what their own employees were doing and in some cases not far from where i'm in the studio in san diego right now. so, you know, ultimately what you've seen coming from acorn is blame being placed on those people who actually, you know, went in and did the undercould have videos of what acorn employees were up to. >> not only will they have some of the same rhetoric as you've just alluded to, but amy, the executive director says the new group will have many of the same staff members and of course, the same missions. so, do you think that they actually will turn over a new leaf now? >> no, i would cite albert einstein who says that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but getting the same result. i think you have the same old people dressing the same organization up in different packages and you'll see the same type of left wing community organizations so to

speak, taking place under a different name in california and we have to look out for that and what they're doing in the future given the track record they've established. >> ron nearing, party chair of the california republican party. thanks for coming on with your take. >> bright and early this. and meet one of the first americans to make it out of haiti alive. hear what she did the moment the quake hit. >> we told you about the fish that is threatening the jobs and eco systems in the great lakes. we'll meet a man who is stepping up to do something about it even if president obama stands in his way, he says. that bought the saw... that bought the saw... that cut the lumber... that built the extra space i needed to store more produce... that she sold to me to make my menu more organic. introducing ink from chase. the card that helped make it all happen because it's accepted in twice as many places worldwide as american express. with reward points worth 25% more when redeemed for air travel.

augie was abandoned, dumped in a dumpster, you were able to rescue him. >> you're 75, confined to a wheelchair and legs have been amputated for diabetes. you went outside in the wheelchair early morning to get your paper as usual and snow, your wheelchair gets stuck in the snow and what happens? what does augie do for you? >> well, the reason i got stuck was because it's a new chair and it's two inch clearance on the bottom, but the snow was six inches deep i was four inches short and what it did, it got stuck on top of the snow and the wheels wouldn't touch the drive. so i was stuck. and it was ten degrees above zero outside and all i had on was a sweatshirt and corduroy shorts and a pair of gloves. and i didn't know what to do. all the neighbors were asleep and there's no cars on the street. and there i was stuck there at ten degrees fahrenheit and

freezing. >> oh, my gosh. >> i didn't know what to do. so what, you told augie to help you and what, what instructions did you give him? >> okay. i looked down and he was beside my chair with me and i looked down and he looked up at me and he looked at the chair and i said, augie, go get mark, mark is my son and he was asleep on the couch. and fortunately, i left the patio door open just about so much so he could go through it, but he ran in the house, which he's never done anything like this in his life, ran over to mark and threw an absolute barking fit and woke markup and took off toward the door and mark got up and saw i wasn't behind augie and he knew something was the matter. meantime, meanwhile, augie was running in and out and as soon as mark got outside they took off and came down and got me. >> and do you even think about what might have happened had

your dog not followed those instructions? >> yeah, i thought, well, i guess we all wonder how we are going to pass away i thought i knew how i was going to go. and i was in total despair. i didn't know what to do because i couldn't walk and i ju just, i couldn't do anything. >> it's unbelievable. after that. and you were inside, did you give him a treat? >> did you spoil him. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> he gets anything he wants now of course. >> oh. >> don, such a great story, augie is such a hero. how do you explain it? i mean, do you think that augie understands everything you say now? >> i think he does. i think he's uncanny. i think all dogs do to a degree, but he's something special. he seems to know what we're saying and he does everything

we ask him except lay down, he doesn't have that one down yet (laughter) >> what a great story. thanks for sharing it with us, don fisher in indianapolis this morning. we're happy for you and your dog, and for your colts as well, sir, thanks for being here. >> absolutely. go colts. thank you. >> thanks, don. >> look at augie just chilling out. just basking in the glow of stardom. >> i tried that with my cat. tried to have him fetch some stuff for me. >> how did that go? >> he looked at himself, and licked his paw and walked away. >> they don't have the sense of loyalty, but augie is eating at the dinner table for the rest of his entire life. a seat at the table. >> filet mignon. >> coming up on the program, a fish that could ruin the eco system and wipe out countless jobs is getting closer and closer to the great lakes. the man who's trying to stop it is facing an uphill battle against his neighbors and the white house, mind you. >> and ever had trouble getting across your real point

in an e-mail or text message? well, a new sarcasm mark like an explanation mark may be the punctuation you need. it's called the sark mark. >> and why the man in the cape is chasing that woman. >> that's sarcastic, it needs a mark. it's not fun. my dry skin is deep down uncomfortable.

>> welcome back here to "fox & friends." a few minutes after the hour. 43 minutes after the hour receipt now and a story that continues to develop this hour in haiti. at least 15 americans feared dead and fear the entire death toll could be 100,000. a woman found underneath the rubble of a hotel in haiti and the last five days brought terrible suffering for those trapped in tent cities without food or water and our steve harrigan in port-au-prince with some of the survivors. >> there's some hard stories on the mattresses. this girl has lost two fingers and she's been unable to really get treated at the hospital, but perhaps the worst story is over here. this woman lost four of her children inside the initial quake and lost her fifth and final child at the hospital and two people or pretty much holding her down when she gets up and starts to scream. a person driven to the point of insanity by suffering and

not getting much help outside her immediate family. >> well, you know, wherever you go, i think, people really need water and they really need food and i was-- if you're in the same boat you could certainly understand it you see someone with food and water and someone in your family is dying or starving you're going to want to get it. >> coming back at the top of the hour live in haiti with geraldo, rivera, his incredible tour through a local hospital, you don't want to miss it, dave and aly. >> thank you, clayton. we brought you the story of the asian carp that's threatening the eco system of the great lakes last week. >> yeah, since then, senator dick durbin of illinois held a press conference to spell out his stance on the issue. >> what appears to be a simple and easy legal answer here in closing the locks is inviting into this conversation a very complex issue. there are no simple and easy solutions to this. we want the most effective approach. >> durbin, however, did not

come to the table with a solution. as the great lakes states wait for the supreme court to look at a lawsuit, the asian carp is closer to the great lakes and that means a lot of money. >> this is more than the asian carp. joining us is michigan's attorney general, the man behind the lawsuit michael cox, thanks for being here. >> thank you, alisyn. >> explain how this ostensibly is a story about the eco system and asian carp, but it also brings in presidential politics. >> it absolutely does, alisyn. you know, there are seven states aligned with us, michigan, minnesota, wisconsin, new york, ohio, indiana. and then on the other side of course there's illinois, the city of chicago water district and the army corps of engineers, which is controlled by the president. two months ago the army corps of engineers were saying, if, if these fish get into the great lakes, it will cause an

economic and ecological disaster and now, they won't take as senator durbin said correctly, the simple step of closing the locks to keep these biological predators out of the great lakes. >> because what happens if the asian carp gets into the great lakes they could kill off all the native species and could also cost 7 billion dollars in commercial interests, the fishing industry, needless to say is an enormous one in your region. but tell us how it appears in your thinking that the president may be playing favorites toward his home state of illinois. >> well, dave, the simple facts are that we're using their own experts against them. their own experts told us there's now dna in the william f pumping station which is right on lake fish. literally within a quarter after mile there are asian carp present right now. and the president won't close

the locks, and it's literally to preserve about 30 million dollars in barge traffic in the city of chicago and of course, the interests of a number of big operators there in the city of chicago and we are just dumbfounded. here in michigan, across the rest of the region, democrats and republicans have joined together to say, this is what we need, this is what we need to protect the environment and the ecologies of the great lakes and yet, this administration and this president who said he would be the great lakes president, who's also said he wouldn't allow anymore invasive species into the great lakes, is turning away with a deaf ear and a blind eye. >> mr. cox, as you pointed out it was just recently to the army corps of engineers that this could spell disaster. how do they explain their about-face? >> they appeared with senator durbin the other day on

tuesday and along with senator durbin, they indicated that they don't have a better plan than closing the locks. senator durbin at one point said that this might be a process of trial and error. alisyn, this is literally a situation where the police have the information that there's a bomber on his way to a mall and, but won't keep the bomber out of the mall. if these fish get into the great lakes, they will decimate the native fisheries and impact the economies of seven different great lakes states as well as ontario and quebec in canada. it's really mind-boggling potentially 30 million dollars on one side and 7 billion on the other. >> well, attorney general mike cox of michigan, thanks for coming on to explain this to us and keep us posted what happens with your lawsuit. >> thank you, alisyn and your folks can go to stop asian.com to get more information. >> great, thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> coming up on the show, forget about that tour of

>> welcome back here to "fox & friends," well, forget touring the homes of the stars in hollywood if you're planning your next trip. there's a new big attraction in los angeles that brings tourists through high profile gang areas, is it a good idea to take a tour through gang land? the creator of l.a. gang tours joins us this morning. thank you so much for being here very early out there in los angeles. tell us why you think it's a good idea and why you decided to create this tour through the area formerly known as

south central l.a.? >> well, there's an incredible market out there to know about gangs and unfortunately, most of that-- those issues are somewhat false and stereotypical in their approaches and our heart is to bring awareness to our struggles that people around the world would learn from our mistakes. >> but others would say you're exploiting the people who live in these areas and for instance, you have to sign a waiver to be on board this bus to go through these, to go through these areas. do you agree in any way that you're exploiting the people there? are you donating any money you're getting from the tour bus? >> oh, absolutely. it's a nonprofit organization, community-based and our goal, ultimate goal is really three priorities, the first priority is to save lives by connecting the dots and creating a dialog with the rival gang members in the area that we're touring allows safe passage, which is gunfire-free zones and an

interesting statistic that supports that by l.a.p.d. is 5 to 10% of the gang population is responsible for 65 to 35% of all gang violence so we're able to connect these dots and with the people that have their finger on the triggers and honor these safe passage to help-- yes. >> and the first tour yesterday $65 per person gets you lunch, you have to sign a waiver you basically risk death. it was extremely popular, people were pleased about it. tell us, this morning though what exactly people are seeing on the tour. do they literally see gang members? do they see prison snz what types of things are on this tour? >> well, it's absolutely the most fascinating tour anyone could take. i noticed on the commercial time that said the world's most dangerous tour, but actually this is probably the world's most safest tour. again, we have access to the individuals that have their finger on the trigger and honor this.

what you're going to see is individuals of influence in their communities that are reform reformed gang members that have a heart to see change in their community and that's priceless to give awe idea of that that would be almost like touring ireland in belfast and then have an opportunity to sit there with the catholic and the protestant bomber to discuss some of the issues prevalent. so, this is absolutely historical, ground breaking and it's exciting. once people have all the information in they'll be surprised as to what this is all about. >> as human beings we're always sort of fascinated about the worlds we don't necessarily understand, but as one reverend said and i'll read the quote and throw this up on the screen, reverend gregory boyle had this to say. there are two extremes we need to avoid one is demonizing the gang member and the other is romanticizing the gang. do you believe in some way your tour sort of sits in the middle or is it one or the other? >> well, our absolute goal is to sit in the middle and that's possible. i think a good idea of that

is, for example, the museum of intolerance that addresses much of the issues prevalent for the holocaust. many of those scenes will show emancipated jews bulldozed into the mass graves and some people might say that's exploitive. on the other hand people say it's raising awareness in how not to repeat the tragedy of the holocaust mu. we need to be in the mid of the efforts. >> an intriguing tour, alfred, creator of l.a. gang tours, best of luck to you, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you so much. have a great day. >> you, too. coming up here on the show our team coverage from haiti continues next hour, an amazing rescue this morning. american crews pulling out several people from a collapsed building, live to the scene next. >> plus your e-mails, never be misunderstood again. sarcasm getting its own symbol. it looks like it hurt. found out how to get it coming

[ female announcer ] new moisture wrap body lotion. neutrogena skin care. #1 dermatologist recommended. >> alisyn: good morning, supped, january 17th, here's what is happening at this hour, hope is still alive in haiti this morning. u.s. crews have rescued a number of people, from a collapsed

building. ooef one pulled out alive, we have all the live breaking details. >> and a special deal to keep the president's health care plan alive. the so-called cadillac tax on the best health plans, some folks won't have to pay for it very long, we'll tell you who. >> does a woman lose her right to make her own medical decisions when he's pregnant. for one mother the choice was completely taken out of her hands, her story and today's headlines, our slogan from pete, tune into "fox & friends" in, don't dally, it is time to get the news from dave, clayton and the news from dave, clayton and ali captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> hi, everybody, this is countries t kristin chenowith, are watching fox friends. >> clayton: she's one of our good friends, she's tiny.

>> alisyn: she makes me look like a giant. and our top story, what is developing in haiti. there is a a desperate attempt to get food and water to survivors, humanitarian aid has been arriving from all over the world and untold numbers of people are injured and that is overwhelming the country's limited medical facilities, many people have gone untreated since the earthquake. >> dave: joining us again, live from port-au-prince, is geraldo rivera. good morning, sir. >> reporter: hi, dave, alisyn and clayton. again, i apologize for the noise behind us. but, after all this is what it is about, getting the much needed relief supplies, and medical personnel into help this stricken nation. we have talked a lot about the tens of thousands of dead bodies that have been recovered. but, there are hundreds of

thousands of people whose injuries are still untreated. watch what i found in one field in port-au-prince. >> everybody okay? everybody is fine. i went to the hospital, i helped out. but, there -- they need a lot of help. they have nothing in the hospitals. i'm going to do the best i can... i will help them out there. >> broken leg, untreated broken leg, over here an untreated broken arm. and you can see, how they fester, the wounds. another untreated broken leg, unset broken leg. a child with an obvious concussion, to your left, gregg. >> i got it. >> chest crushed. oh, please. unbelievable. >> are you being helped?

>> no. >> no. >> no. no. >> nobody came. >> no. >> medication... the people, no sleep. >> last night we showed you a field hospital, a mobile field hospital that the israeli defense forces brought in an entire field hospital with doctors, and the medical supplies, they needed. that is the problem. we have well-intentioned doctors arriving in other cases we have medical supplies but getting the crucial elements together, doctor and supply and facilities, with these hundreds of thousands of still untreated, can be treated, that is the challenge and what we saw in those sweltering tents, children

with untreated broken arms and legs. people with limbs that need now to be amputated. this is the stuff of heart break. this is the story of what haiti is going through now. this will be the story that emerges as we go forward. can the u.s., can the rest of the world community come together to help heal this bleeding nation? dave, alisyn and clayton back to you in new york. >> clayton: unbelievable. >> alisyn: geraldo, thanks for showing us that inside look at that heartbreaking tent. the president described it as unimaginable the suffering and it is. >> clayton: an interesting story emerged, he's with the 82nd airborne division, imbedded with them and two navy helicopters went out to a field to bring water and supplies to some people who were trapped in a park, a number of miles away from where geraldo is and as the helicopters were landing they were able to give out water and

a number of people tried to rush the helicopters and the navy pilots had to take off and leave these people down there, hoping for water and supplies. just a small anecdotal story, how difficult it is to try to get supplies to people who are desperate. >> dave: a lot of chaos and another big story we are following. president obama in massachusetts today, campaigning for martha coakley, in what could be make or break situations, with the democrats' health care agenda. >> clayton: she and scott brown are in a dead heat statistically and the special election to fill the vacant seat left by the death of senator ted kennedy, moll line has the latest along the campaign trail. good morning, molly. >> reporter: good morning, that's right the white house is investing a tremendous amount of political capital into the race and the president releasing a web ad, a robo-ad and the stakes are high and coakley's campaign is criticized for not doing enough retail politics early on and not running enough advertising early on and now democrats are forced to push a lot of energy into this race.

democratic strategists said in some cases it may be aid no win for the president and -- may be a no win for the president and she is supposed to win, some people say, democrats are the majority and they out number republicans as far as registered voters are concerned and it is a tough spot for democrats to be in, republican scott brown launched a bus tour and has done a lot of time crisscrossing the state and she has a rally this afternoon and not the heavy-hitter of the president, but will be there to rally his base and republicans have proved to be excited about this. and don't get the chance to get excited about a senate race in massachusetts, the last time a republican won here was 1972. so it will be interesting to see what the turnout numbers are on tuesday and which side manages to get things reinvigorated on election day. guys, back to you. >> alisyn: it sure will, molly line, thank you. from boston, incredible that a conservative republican has even made it as far in the polls in

boston, as scott brown has. but, if you have never been to boston, there is one thing you probably know about bostonn -- >> dave: the cuff links, zoom in on that. >> alisyn: red sox boston loves her red sox and everybody in boston lives and breathes red sox. >> dave: it's not a blue state. >> alisyn: martha coakley who made a massive faux pas about the red sox. what was it. >> dave: curt schilling, was the hero of the boston red sox in 2004, and perhaps the reason they won the world series, the first in 86 years, and pitched with a bloody sock and almost ran for senate and could probably run for governor in massachusetts, that is the loyalty they have and he brought them a world series and apparently martha coakley thinks he might be a yankee fan, listen to this: >> by the way, you have bill clinton in today. >> i did. >> and barack obama in sunday. >> correct. >> and, would barack obama be in

if it was not this close. >> it's hard to know. i think that he is welcome in massachusetts and i'm sure everybody is happy to see -- >> 236. >> but i think, probably, if it weren't so close, rudy giuliani, wouldn't have come either and besides, he's a yankee fan, i want people to know. >> scott brown, curt schilling -- >> another yankee fan. >> schilling? curt schilling, a yankee fan. >> no. i'm wrong on -- >> red sox great pitcher of the bloody sock. >> he's not there any more. >> dave: so the comment calling curt schilling a yankee's fan has reverberated across massachusetts this morning. but, just hearing the sound bite, she's mixed up. >> alisyn: i think she meant scott brown. >> dave: she thought scott brown was a yankees fan. >> dave: three opportunities to get it right and -- >> dave: no, no, no, i'm not defending her but it sounded like she got tripped up and was thinking about what she was

going to say next, he was a yankees fans and no, i didn't mean that. is it as bad as we think. >> dave: it is worse, he give her so much room to correct her mistakes. >> alisyn: and curt schilling said, i have been called a lot of things, but never, i mean, never could anyone make this mistakes of calling me a yankees fan. well, check that, if you don't know what the blank is going on in your own state, maybe you could. >> dave: basically she's out of touch with the people of massachusetts. so much so that she would think he's a yankees fan. curt schilling will be live on "fox & friends" tomorrow this morning and, a place in my heart for curt schilling being a former philadelphia philly as well. >> dave: and, he usually has a lot to say. he doesn't hold back and should be an interesting interview tomorrow morning. >> alisyn: in the meantime, your headlines, a "fox news alert," flights near jfk airport are getting back to normal at this hour after another one of those security breaches. the man that you are about to see on a surveillance footage

jules... is in brooklyn and he was flying back from the u.s. from haiti and passengers described the chaos when he went through the wrong door. >> i was panicked. i want to get home. i just want to get home, i'm scared. >> a little bit frustrating but obviously they have to be safe, so, don't want to get on a plane that is not safe. >> alisyn: officials say he opened a restrict d door at the terminal and set off the alarm. an iraqi court just sentenced a man known as chemical ali to death, this morning. the country's state television says that he served as an aide to saddam hussein was sentenced to be hanged for a 1988 gas attack on a kurdish town that killed 5,000 people. pope benedict xvi plans to make an historic visit to rome's synagogue later today. it will be the second time a pope made the trip to a synagogue, since john paul ii

visited in 1986. the visit comes as the pope is trying to turn pope pious the 12th into a saint that is drawing outrage from jewish communities who think he didn't do enough to stop the holocaust and jewish groups announced plans to boycott the event today and the awards season begins with the golden globe awards. good, i can't wait to watch this... are there games or something on? this year's show will be hosted by comedian ricky gervase, no stranger to hoetsing the awards and they are often considered an oscar predictor. and leading the pack of the year's best movie, "avatar" which earned $1 billion worldwide. the full results we'll have for you, tomorrow, on "fox & friends" and ricky is so funny, i predict that will be fun. >> dave: he's hilarious an pokes fun at the hollywood types on the show. ricky gervase, not referring to our own ricky reichmuth. >> alisyn: are you hosting anything tonight, rick. >> rick: nothing at all.

here's your temps across the country, waking up... no one dealing with the ice we had last week and a warm-up across the plains and temperatures will remain calm, over the much of the week and i don't think any big change in the temperatures, until maybe the end of the month and we could be seeing a return to those winter-like temperatures and here you go, snow for tonight, and tomorrow, across the interior sections of the northeast and maybe a little bit of snow around boston and that is all the storm pulling up the eastern seaboard now, bringing the rain towards d.c. and philadelphia and will be a cold rain all along the cities, and as it pulls on through, it could be bringing a little bit of flooding as well, because, a very moist system. the other storieses will be out across the west, the story all week long, there is about three storms piled up each one stronger than the prior, and as it does the snow level will be dropping as well, some areas will be seeing maybe up to 20 inches of rain and remember we have had a lot of wildfires across southern california the last couple of years and one the station fire that burned 160,000 acres, that area potentially seeing around 15 inches of rain

and will cause very big problems this week, and the rain also moving in towards arizona, and one bright side, guys, the ski industry certainly needs the snow and areas in a major drought and that drought will probably be wiped out by the end of the week, unfortunately, a little bit too much, too guys, guys. >> alisyn: thanks. >> dave: a closed door agreement in the health care debate and some say democrats are giving their friends a sweet deal leaving the rest behind, we'll tell you what is going on. >> alisyn: your first look at the new season of "24." we'll have the show's leading lady here. she plays fbi agent renee walker. nd howling ] [ male announcer ] it balances you...

>> dave: welcome back to fox and friends, during a retreat of the democratic caucus this week, president obama defended the methods congress used to move forward on health care reform, take a listen: >> president barack obama: i catch the occasional poster and cable clip that recklessly declares what something means for a political party. without really talking much about what it means for a country. >> dave: recently the white house made a deal with union leaders to forgo the controversial cadillac tax until 2018. is it proof of special treatment, editor of "the national review" and democratic strategist michael brown join us this morning, welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> dave: the president talked a

lot about transparency. and opening the doors and making sure the american public knows what is going on but the thing with unions passed late at night, seems like a special deal worked out. and where is the transparency coming from the obama white house? >> well, i can't comment, necessarily on the transparency, a lot as you know, a lot of the folks work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and not everything happens during your news cycle but i think the larger issue is that labor is really the backbone of our working class, middle class in this country, and, some standpoint you have to make sure labor has the seat at the table and feel they are comfortable, because, without labor, and without the middle class and working class and a lot of our cities and states around the country, we'll have more fiscal crisis going on. >> we were going to talk about this, rich, and look we'll tax the cadillac plan but did the white house bow to pressure from the unions? they threw so much support behind them during the campaign. >> of course. it is outrageous to have a tax that applies to other people but not the special interest and note unions and michael is wrong, unions are declining

influence in offer way except the democratic party and there is no way to broadcast this on c-span because it is so gross to have richard trunk ka and andy stern and other union bosses going in there and saying we need a special exemption from the tax, until 2018. which will -- if obama wins two terms it is after he left office. >> dave: and i'll get michael to respond to that but there are exemptions for high risk profile jobs such as firefighters, who put their lives at risk and they make the argument, unions do, these jobs are high risk, a lot of union members are out there on the front lines and have high risk life-threatening jobs. don't they have a point, they -- >> if you want to exempt firefighters, and people from -- with high risk jobs, do that, that is not what they did. they exempted every union and if you are a member of a union, you are exempted from the tax. if you are a member of e the middle class that doesn't have to be part of a union, it applies to you and that is wrong and unfair on the face of it and indefensible. >> dave: michael, how do you

respond. >> i my recollection rich and his friends defend the rights of the wealthy, to have exemptions in the tax code every day, 7 days, maybe 8 days a week and it's interesting they pick and choose which exemptions are good and which deductions are good but not in the case where our middle class and working class families need the tax break. i think it is a good thing and we'll make sure people have dollars and jobs and put money back into the economy. >> dave: why not exempt all middle class and working people from the tax, michael. >> they didn't do that because the unions pour millions, countless millions of dollars into the coffers of the democrats and said, we will not work for you in 2010, unless you give us the special interest exemption, and, they got it. >> dave: we have to leave it there, guys. >> i imagine you guys -- >> dave: stick around, guys, we are talking about a new study that says the president had major victories in the legislative process, not since lbj has the president enjoyed this much experience and success and plus are our friends and

>> dave: welcome back to "fox & friends," a study by congressional quarterly magazine says president obama has had the highest success rate of any president in terms of getting congress to cooperate with his agenda. but does it reflect actual results or is it just talk? we're back this morning with rich lowry, editor of the national review and democratic strategist, michael brown, the question is, do we have actual results here? >> absolutely and the american people made it clear, over a year ago, that they wanted change. they wanted this kind of change and that is why the congress is being so supportive. because, not only do they realize what happened in those

elections, but, a lot of these members of congress have to go back to the districts and justify why they are voting with this president's agenda, the agenda the american people voted for over a year ago and absolutely, it is justified and, that is what intern people want. >> dave: and drawing the allusion to lbj, because he has gotten everything rammed through congress and it looks like the success rate, he's on par with what lbj was able to do but the legacy is not quite when we'd expect. >> the other similarity with lbj is they both had huge majorities and if you gave me 60 votes in the senate and 70, 80 vote in the house i'd look like a legislative master, too. it is not difficult. the point is big legislation, stimulus which failed on its own terms and cap-and-trade which would have increased energy prices will probably die in the senate and the health care bill created a huge backlash in the country and kicked away the center which, if democrats held the center, which obama won in 2008 they'd dominate american politics for the next decade and

now it is at risk because they did too much, too fast and went too far for the american public. >> dave: is that what the americans wanted, michael, they wanted democrats to sort of sit back and hold on to the center as rich pointed out and really not get anything done? >> i imagine, rich would be sitting here oh, obama's -- the president's agenda wasn't that strong, and aggressive, saying he isn't doing enough. and, so... >> i would not. one thing i would not say -- >> -- decide to do and clearly the president had a mandate from the american people and he's following it whether you compare him to lbj or whomever, he's getting things done and moving the country forward and the debate about the center as more -- is more of a political debate, not what the agenda is for the american people. >> people voted for barack obama because he sounded reasonable, sounded moderate and talked about a new kind of politics that would be open and transparent -- false and talked about a post-partisan agenda and instead we have had a totally partisan agenda. >> rich, you don't think that is your -- you say no to

everything, you are -- the republicans say no to everything. they don't come to the table. >> they should. they should. it is a huge, a huge budget-busting stimulus that failed, they should have opposed it and the stimulus bill is on -- everyone knows, it failed. >> dave: michael brings up an interesting point, republicans criticized the president for doing nothing, and also they criticize the president for doing too much, running the country into the ground. socialist -- >> i don't think anyone criticized him for doing nothing, he's done a lot, $787 billion stimulus bill is a huge accomplishment and is not -- did not work on its own terms and unemployment wasn't supposed to go past 8% an added a huge amount of debt forever more and es he has passed an agenda that is unpopular. >> president obama is fixing the problems of the last eight years. >> what problems, what has he fixed? >> 65 days, to fix an -- you don't think president bush wrecked the economy at all.

>> what has obama fixed? >> dave: michael and rich, we appreciate you both joining us. >> thank you very much. >> dave: thanks. >> thank you. >> dave: we have breaking news, out of haiti. as we are watching the story unfold. american crews made amazing rescues this morning, we're live at the scene and hillary clinton weighing in on the disaster, also. >> everybody has been saving lives, it is really heart-warming and from my perspective what the world is doing on behalf of the terrible tragedy is a great tribute to us. >> dave: plus senate majority leader harry reid doesn't know who he'll face in november but it might not matter. we'll explain. stay with us.

>> alisyn: welcome back, everyone, this is a "fox news alert." the death toll in haiti continues to climb with at least 15 americans confirmed dead. and officials are estimating tens of thousands more people were killed.

>> dave: steve harrigan and jonathan hunt are live in port-au-prince with the latest e efforts, first to jonathan at the scene where survivors were found this morning in a collapsed shopping mall, straight to our chief correspondent of the fox report. jonathan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we are at the scene right now of a quite incredible search and rescue effort. yesterday, teams from florida urban search and rescue as well as the fire and police departments of new york city got word in this collapsed four story shopping mall behind me voices were heard and they made verbal contact weather a group of people trapped in the remains, rubble of a grocery store and had been able to keep themselves alive amazingly because they had provisions that fell around them, nearly five days on from the moment the earthquake hit and those urban search and rescue teams worked

through the night and pulled out two people including one young girl and as dawn broke when we got here this morning, there was one more. miraculous moment. here is the third survivor from the situation. a 54-year-old woman, we're told she has some injuries. she is doing under the incredible circumstances, incredibly well. now we understand that that woman is -- has american children, she is from pembroke pines, florida. we -- it seems unclear at the moment whether she's an american citizen but has children who are american citizens, and given what she has been through, as i say, nearly five days after this quake hit, she seemed in incredibly good condition, who knows what her internal injuries may be but she was conscious, you can see her there, talking to the rescue squads, they brought even her purse over to her and have now taken her down

to the united nations compound, at the port-au-prince airport where she will be treated. they believe that they have in fact made verbal contact with at least one more individual in this collapsed shopping mall and the teams are still doing their heroic, incredible work, to try to get more people out alive, and we'll update you throughout the day as this urban search and rescue operation, the heroic work of these american teams, continues. now let's go over live to my colleague, steve harrigan on the streets of port-au-prince. >> reporter: jonathan, helicopters flying overhead here, and convoys moving throughout the downtown area, of port-au-prince and the international presence here, certainly getting more visible by the day and you can tell, that really gives heart to the haitian people. some real pluses we have seen over the past 48 hours, for one thing, radios are on, two haitian radio stations back up and running and we have seen medical aid going out to the camps, international red cross and mobile units getting to some of those squatteder camps and treating people who need it and

food aid set up as well and the negatives, we have heard shots fired twice, both occasions it was police shooting into the air and, to scare squatters away and people really with nothing, nothing at all, either intents or under tarps and it is difficult to get people out of structures, unsteady structures when there are tremors and there was a tremor this morning, and it shook us up and this is a place where money doesn't work and tried to get a spare tire and for all the money in the world we couldn't find one and for basics, gas, food, sometimes, it still takes a lot of efforts and shows you what the relief efforts, workers are up against. back to you in new york. >> alisyn: steve harrigan and jonathan hunt, thank you both for that -- those incredible reports from haiti. appreciate it and i can't believe what jonathan hunt reported this morning, people were found in the collapsed

grocery store and thank goodness they were able to reach water or food, to survive and remember, people predicted that that first vital 72-hour window, after that hope would fall off precipitously and it has been 115 hours now since the earthquake. >> dave: and it's remarkable. >> clayton: and aid from many, many different countries and the u.s. and secretary of state hillary clinton flying into port-au-prince airport and speaking with greta van susteren about that question, who is in charge to get the aid to people who desperately need it. take a listen: >> well, we're here as a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission. that is what the united states military is here for, they are here as well, on the invitation of the haitian government, that knows they need help, and the airport is a good example. there is only one runway. this is not ideal and thank goodness it was not damaged. the earthquake had knocked the

runway out, i don't know where we'd be in terms of trying to help. we went to the haitian government, we said we were ready to help, they asked for our help and we negotiated an agreement so that the united states military could get it open and begin to prioritize the flights in and out because as you can tell, it is a small airport but we have made it very busy and have to be sure people are safe coming in and out. >> dave: the faa doing a good job and hillary and bill clinton honeymooned in haiti. >> alisyn: is that right? >> dave: which started a good relationship with the country, which is fascinating and bill clinton teaming up with former president bush, their web site, clintonbushhaitifund.org, help the victims of the earthquake in haiti. >> alisyn: there's the three presidents, most recent presidents, coming out of the white house, emerging yesterday. a powerful image, president obama has called in, two predecessors for help in this and they've had an op-ed today in "the new york times," also, very powerful if you want to check it out, nice to know that this triumverate, you feel the

power of the united states when you see these gentlemen all standing together helping haiti, i think. >> dave: interesting. >> alisyn: meanwhile... here's the rest of the headlines. we start with another "fox news alert" for you. a suspected u.s. drone missile killed 12 people in pakistan this morning. intelligence officials say the drone struck a house in southern waziristan, a volatile tribal area. the drones were targeting a meeting of militant commanders and were apparently unsuccessful, in attempts to kill a taliban chief there. diplomats from 16 countries working on new sanctions against iran and have yet to reach an agreement. the european union's political director says the u.s., russia, china, britain, france and germany found iran has failed to follow up on a proposal that would have tehran exchanging uranium for nuclear fuel. one official says despite the last-minute agreements the message to iran is still time is running out about the nuclear program and harry reid is fighting to keep his leadership

post in his home state after some called it a racist remark he made about the president, and a journal poll finds 52% of residents in nevada view him unfavorably and he is facing re-election for a 5th term, the latest survey shows he's trailing three potential g.o.p. opponents there. those are your headlines, over to rick for a look at weather. wow, you are outside. how is that. >> rick: not bad. such a big change from the cold air we had in place last week and the arctic air is gone and potentially might come back but two weeks, a long range forecast, and look at your temperatures now, though, not bad, really, anywhere, and caribou, maine, cold air, 3° waking up this morning and everybody is looking good and look at the satellite/radar picture, the mid-atlantic is dealing with the rain and cloud cover right now, and a little bit of freezing across some of the higher elevations, and, that will be the case as the storm moves over the scat skills, and towards the berkshires, over the

next 12 to 24 hours. as you zoom out, you can see mostly the mid-atlantic dealing with the storm at this point and the rain back in towards areas of the ohio river valley, a lot of fog in across parts of the plains, also this morning, as you are heading out across areas of kansas and missouri and illinois and towards iowa, certainly, be careful as you head out on the roads. and then we'll turn our attention to the west, first in the series of storms, now moving in across areas of california, oregon and washington and bull's-eye the next few days will be california and arizona. we'll see copious amounts of rain, some areas, potentially up to 20 inches and will cause the threat for mudslides and certainly a lot of flooding and will be towards southern california as well. they'll need the rain but it will be too much, too fast this week, the series of storms moves in, the temperatures for your day today. here's what it looks like and nobody dealing with bad temps and nice all the way up towards minneapolis, 35 degrees, guys, back to you inside. >> clayton: thank you so much, rick. we tried to interpret -- waiting

for sarcasm for rick there. >> alisyn: he's the marries of it. >> clayton: he likes that and will love the next story because, how often have we texted somebody, sent an e-mail to someone where there was sarcasm implied or tongue in cheek implied and only to get -- receive a response from somebody who says, well i didn't realize you would wanted it that way! and you meant it to be sarcastic and turns out a guy took up the challenge and created a new punctuation mark called the sarc-mark. >> dave: how often do you need it, you send be a e-mail and people don't get you are trying to be enthusiastic. here's an example of what exactly the sarc-mark is about. >> ♪ ♪

>> hey, are you walking a dog or is the dog, walking you? >> clayton: a explosional video from their web site. >> alisyn: it shows the mark, a circle with a dot. >> clayton: that is what the big push on the screen what the marks looks like and how do you make it, here's how you do it. you need to download it first, the brilliant part of this is, he charges you 1.99 to get it and put that back up on the screen. okay, it -- to get it once you download it, control-plus, all-stop and gives you the sarc-mark and you put it at the end of the sentence and shows -- >> alisyn: and that is what it looks like. >> dave: i have sarcmark post-it is i would say thanks for ordering me breakfast and thank you clayton for letting me know everybody is getting a warm breakfast. >> alisyn: i would have misinterpreted your comment. had you not given me the

sarc-mark. >> dave: i wasn't included in the breakfast order. >> clayton: he doesn't need it. he's not subtle. >> alisyn: that is a good point. i love it because i really dislike e-mail. it is my least favorite form of communication. because i think the tone is always misinterpreted. you always sound terse, more terse than you intend to be on e-mail. >> dave: i get in trouble with bosses all the time. >> alisyn: that's why we all get in trouble. i'll litter the marks all over everything i write. >> clayton: and i have a tendency to be sensitive and i get a terse e-mail and i think the person must be angry or they could be busy and i got a sentence back from this person. >> alisyn: misinterpretation all the time. >> clayton: check it out, 0.99 and download it on any platform, mac, vista, across windows and blackberry or iphone. >> dave: coming up on the show, if a woman behaves badly during

pregnancy, smokes or eats poorly should she lose the right to make her own medical decisions, for a woman, someone else had the final word and why doctors forced bedrest. >> alisyn: court ordered. we'll debate this and new twists in the season premier of "24". >> dave: that's not it. that is the star, jack bauer. >> alisyn: why is he in a dress. >> dave: we'll ask the costar what she thinks of jack bauer in a dress. >> alisyn: i don't know what to think of that. that is not right...

>> alisyn: listen to this story, samantha burton was 25 weeks pregnant and she experienced complications and went to the hospital for help. but after a few days of bedrest she wanted to go home to care for her two toddlers, but doctors said no way. and they went so far as getting a court order to make her stay on bedrest for 15 more weeks. legal experts on both sides of this debate, we have former prosecutor lis weihl and criminal defense attorney mercedes colwin, this is a -- an intense case, mercedes, because, she was pregnant, and how on earth can a hospital recommend -- it was beyond a recommendation, order you to stay in bed for 15 more weeks and you have your life to lead. >> that was completely insane and what is even crazier is when

she refused, they said we'll get a court order and he dehumanized her and made her an irnncubator and we don't care about your rights, and the baby trumped your rights and it's not an abortion issue and, she didn't come into terminate her pregnancy, she came into save it. and. >> alisyn: and there were concerns. >> but she came involuntarily, i want to save my pregnancy and put -- this hospital is in an absolute no-win situation, because play it out. say they had known that she was smoking and drinking which she was and fighting with the doctors about this and she was actually going through a miscarriage at the time that she went in and actually miscarrying then, what, if they said, objections, go home, that's fine and she miscarries they would have been sued bam! like that and if they keep her they get the court order, it was the hospital, the judge said she has to stay there.

they'll get sued by the aclu. >> and had she left, the hospital would have been in trouble. >> but, she would have signed a release and said, i am discharging myself against doctor's orders and play out the host of horribles. if she couldn't go home, someone else decides i want a glass of wine and the doctor says you can't have it. we'll put you on bedrest and monitor your every move, a pregnant woman has the right to decline medical treatment. >> but that is not what happened. she came to the hospital, not the hospital coming into your house saying take away the glass of wine and because the toddlers are at home, remember the woman was literally miscarrying. >> alisyn: she didn't know that. she thought she was having complications and ended up being a miscarriage. >> she went to the doctor, she thought she was miscarrying and the doctor recommended she go to the hospital and if the hospital sent her home to take care of toddlers -- she was married and hopefully a husband was present. is that fair to those toddlers,

and as it turned out, she was only in the hospital three days before she did -- >> alisyn: what about mercedes' point. can there at some point be a court order to make you exercise and eat right if you are pregnant in the best interest of the baby. >> it is but there are two huge differences, one is the baby was viable, six months along and the second is, the government i.e. the court orders and the hospital didn't come to her, she came to them and mercedes is right. she didn't want an abortion, she wanted the baby saved and the hospital tried. >> frankly it will -- it goes to the issue, if a woman cannot go into the hospital and determine her own medical treatment they will not go to the hospital and who will lose here, the woman, unborn child because they'll be afraid... >> alisyn: sorry ladies we have to leave it there. a great debate. you can weigh in at the blog. thank you so much. and jack bauer isn't the only person playing for keeps on the new season of "24", the actress

>>. >> clayton: wick to "fox & friends," as fbi agent renee walker who played a major role on saving jack bauer, actress annie wersching is back for the new season's show which premiers tonight, two hour premium and is delivering an unexpected surprise twist. >> dave: intriguing seasoned some say it could be -- season and some say it could be the last and i want to put you on the spot, jack bauer, keefer sutherland, he shows up on a dress on david letterman, if you have the videotape, absolutely

priceless. >> clayton: what in the world, what do you think of jack bauer doing that. >> i think it is a little unfortunate and i wish he would have born a better dress. >> alisyn: it's like a hospital gown, what was it about. >> a grandma thing happening. i guess he lost the bet about the patriots. >> clayton: after that... do you see him in the same way. >> i'm glad he wore combat boots. >> clayton: he didn't shave his legs, though. >> that would have been worse. >> clayton: we try to pull nuggets and tidbits about what the upcoming season has to offer and you offered secrets up to us this morning. do you have a nugget you would like to share with us this morning? your character, maybe takes on a different role, right. >> she does, she's similar to how she ended last season, and she's a little out of control, and a wildcard and... >> clayton: can i say what "t.v. guide" called you, rambo on red bull in the season!

>> dave: how do you feel about that description. >> wow, i might like that. >> here in new york, which is different, how does it change the show for the loyal fans out there. >> i think new york is a great city and energy, and it is similar to our show and fast-faced and will add new stuff. >> alisyn: what happens on the season premier. >> a lot happens. like you said, my character in particular, is very messed up, a little dark, and jack has to keep an eye on her and she goes undercover with the russian mob. >> clayton: and jack is presumably in retirement. >> in a good place. >> clayton: and something comes along and has to pull him when he thinks he's out, they pull him back in. >> they always do that, i hate when that happens. >> clayton: will you join us for the after the show show. >> sure. >> alisyn: more "fox & friends." two minutes, we'll be right back.
